N'Jie loan to Sporting falls through at last moment

Marseille attacker Clinton N'Jie will not be joining Sporting CP after the Ligue 1 club announced a deal has fallen through.

An agreement of €1 million and Sporting covering N'Jie's wages had been finalised, with reports suggesting the Cameroon international failed a medical.

However, Marseille have pushed back against that, while confirming the move is off, saying: "Olympique de Marseille indicates that at the end of the final discussions held this morning with the Sporting Club of Portugal, the two clubs did not reach a full and complete agreement on the contractual terms and the financial elements relating to the player's loan, Clinton N' Jie, so the player will not engage with the Portuguese club and OM are counting on him for this weekend's match against Rennes."

France international set to stay at Old Trafford

Anthony Martial wants to prove himself at Manchester United under Jose Mourinho, completing a U-turn over speculation he would depart Old Trafford, reports The Sun.

The France international missed the World Cup in Russia this year following a lack of appearances under the Portuguese for the Red Devils and has been heavily linked with an exit during the current European transfer window.

Instead though, the 22-year-old will now seek to re-establish himself as a regular starting name at the Theatre of Dreams, despite stiff competition from Alexis Sanchez and England pair Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard.
